Initialize a newly-allocated object op with its type and initial
reference. Returns the initialized object. If type indicates that the
object participates in the cyclic garbage detector, it is added to the
detector’s set of observed objects. Other fields of the object are not
affected.

Allocate a new Python object using the C structure type TYPE and the
Python type object type. Fields not defined by the Python object header
are not initialized; the object’s reference count will be one. The size of
the memory allocation is determined from the tp_basicsize field of
the type object.

Allocate a new Python object using the C structure type TYPE and the
Python type object type. Fields not defined by the Python object header
are not initialized. The allocated memory allows for the TYPE structure
plus size fields of the size given by the tp_itemsize field of
type. This is useful for implementing objects like tuples, which are
able to determine their size at construction time. Embedding the array of
fields into the same allocation decreases the number of allocations,
improving the memory management efficiency.

Changed in version 2.5: This function used an int type for size. This might require
changes in your code for properly supporting 64-bit systems.

Releases memory allocated to an object using PyObject_New() or
PyObject_NewVar(). This is normally called from the
tp_dealloc handler specified in the object’s type. The fields of
the object should not be accessed after this call as the memory is no
longer a valid Python object.

Create a new module object based on a name and table of functions,
returning the new module object. If doc is non-NULL, it will be used
to define the docstring for the module. If self is non-NULL, it will
be passed to the functions of the module as their (otherwise NULL) first
parameter. (This was added as an experimental feature, and there are no
known uses in the current version of Python.) For apiver, the only value
which should be passed is defined by the constant
PYTHON_API_VERSION.

Note

Most uses of this function should probably be using the
Py_InitModule3() instead; only use this if you are sure you need
it.

Changed in version 2.3: Older versions of Python did not support NULL as the value for the
methods argument.
